How are deposit fees calculated?
A flat 0.5%, no tiers — the same rate from the 35 USD minimum all the way up. Deposit 100 and the fee is $0.50, 99.50 credited; deposit 1000 and the fee is $5.00, 995.00 credited. The deposit page shows the fee and credited amount in real time. No hidden fees.
The fee table itself can be summed up in a single sentence: the deposit fee is a flat 0.5%, with no tiers. That leaves only one thing to work out — for every amount you transfer out, how much really lands in your balance. Remember one point first: the fee is deducted from the deposit amount, not charged on top of your transfer amount.
Amount credited = deposit amount x 99.5%
The deposit page states the rate and shows a worked example of what gets credited; your personal address needs no amount entered, so whatever actually arrives is charged 0.5%. Take the minimum as an example: deposit 35 USD, about 0.18 is deducted at 0.5%, and 34.82 is credited to your balance. 35 USD is the minimum for every deposit, not just the first. The credited amount is exact to the cent and anything below a cent is truncated, which is why 35 USD credits 34.82 rather than 34.825. There is no second fee stacked on top of the whole process.
No tiers: every amount, large or small, pays the same 0.5%
There are no tiers, no boundaries, and no amount to hit in order to bring the rate down — depositing 35 and depositing 5,000 are charged the same 0.5%. The table below works through a few common amounts.
| Deposit amount (USD) | Fee rate | Fee (USD) | Amount credited (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35 (minimum) | 0.5% | about 0.18 | 34.82 |
| 100 | 0.5% | 0.50 | 99.50 |
| 500 | 0.5% | 2.50 | 497.50 |
| 1,000 | 0.5% | 5.00 | 995.00 |
| 5,000 | 0.5% | 25.00 | 4,975.00 |
So there is no boundary math left to do: there is no "reach this amount and the rate drops" threshold, and you can simply deposit what you actually intend to use. Your platform balance is only used for opening cards and topping up cards, so there is no reason to stockpile more than you need just to chase a rate.
The deposit step has only this one platform fee; the transfer network fee does not go to the platform
The deposit fee is the only platform charge at the deposit step — there is no second rate, no hidden items. Your exchange deducts its own withdrawal fee when you send (it varies by network — check your exchange's withdrawal page), which goes to the exchange, not the platform — so withdraw about 2 USDT more than you want to receive. Opening cards and topping up cards are separate steps, and their respective fees are shown individually on the corresponding pages.
